Default Sprinkling sugar around tomato plants?

"David in Normandy" wrote ...

Someone said that tomatoes can be made sweeter by sprinkling a little
sugar around the plants. Would this really work? Would the plants absorb
the sugar and store it in the tomatoes? I'm somewhat dubious.



The question "why do you want them sweet?" springs to mind. If you do why
not do what an acquaintance does and sprinkle sugar over his salad.
